There is a separate yorkie playyard with it's own deck out back for moments when I can't monitor outside play. I can't imagine having them in a separate building, I would miss trying to find a place for my butt on the sofa.(Usually occupied by a teenager buried under a dog or two). I feel you will be doing them and yourself a disservice by not having them underfoot where you can interact with them throughout the day and monitor everyones behavior. Just my opinion.

My other concern is based on an assumption, you didn't say you were planning to breed, but, I am just guessing that's the idea.
Your dogs are very small to be breeding for optimal health. None of my breeding females are under 6 1/2 lbs and one is a whopper. My males each weigh 4lbs solid. The pups we produce fall within the breed standard of 3-7lbs, though there will occasionally be a smaller or larger one in a litter.
Are you crazy? ha ha just kidding your living the life I wish i could have so many dogs would be like living in heaven to me thres just one thing that stands in my way.......... A husband ...... dianne
